*1/2 out of 4.

Rating: Null/10 (18 July 2003)

A group of animal rights activist break into a secret lab late one night and set free a group of monkeys and chimps that are infected with an anger virus. Once a person comes into contact with the infected's blood, they in turn become infected within a matter of seconds. They are turned in blood thirsty zombies-killers without any other purpose, but to kill. ......28 days later the virus has wiped out an entire country. A young bicycle carrier wakes up from a coma to find everyone gone and the streets empty. At nightfall he comes into contact with a few remaining survivors who inform him of what happened and that at night the zombies-killers come out to kill.
Despite gritty camera work and some good opening sequences, in the long run this runs flat. Dialogue is stilted, introduction of new characters is awkard to say the least, the script is under plotted, the denounment comes off as silly and the final frames are totally out of tone with the film (the original ending screened to test auidences would have been better). And to make matters worse, this is nowhere near as compelling or as scary as the marketing campaign would leave you to believe. Poor script, adequate performances, gritty camera work.
